Discovery and Innovation: Behavioral Health Interventions and Technology

  • Providing consultation, advisory roles, and board roles for behavioral health organizations and systems, including addiction and mental health across the life-span

  • The intersection of behavioral health and technology is ripe with opportunities for innovation, offering unprecedented ways to improve mental health outcomes, expand access to care, and address critical public health challenges. As a consultant and advisor, I help organizations navigate this dynamic landscape by bridging expertise in behavioral health, technology integration, and system-level transformation.

    Advancing Behavioral Health Through Technology
    Emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, and digital therapeutics are revolutionizing how we understand and address behavioral health needs. These innovations enable earlier detection of mental health challenges, personalized interventions, and scalable solutions that reach underserved populations. I have worked with teams to implement cutting-edge tools like predictive analytics for crisis prevention, AI-powered care coordination, and digital platforms that deliver culturally competent care.

    Startups and non-profits play a crucial role in driving these innovations forward, while states and health systems are pivotal in scaling and sustaining impactful interventions. I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities these organizations face and offer strategic insights to help align their efforts with community needs and public health goals.

    Strategic Guidance for Mission-Driven Organizations
    With decades of experience in behavioral health and health system leadership, I assist organizations in designing and implementing strategies that maximize both impact and sustainability. This includes identifying key opportunities for technology integration, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and navigating the complex regulatory and funding landscapes. My goal is to help organizations align their initiatives with evidence-based practices, leverage data for actionable insights, and build models that prioritize equity and accessibility.

    Partnerships for Impact
    Innovation thrives in collaboration. I work closely with startups, non-profits, and state agencies to foster partnerships that bridge expertise in technology, behavioral health, and public health. By aligning missions and leveraging complementary strengths, these partnerships can create transformative solutions that address the most pressing behavioral health challenges.

    Whether advising on board-level strategy, consulting on program design, or supporting states in integrating technology into behavioral health initiatives, I bring a passion for innovation and a commitment to advancing health equity. Together, we can create solutions that transform lives and strengthen communities.
